| Queen Junction | AND  |
The Western Allegheny RR ran from West Pittsburg to Queen
Junction. It was later part of the BR&P which was later part of the B&O.
The line connected with the B&LE at Queen Jct. Some stations along the line were East New Castle (Punkintown), Princeton, Rose Point, Isle, Grant City and Grantboro. Those last few towns are gone now, having been erased by dam/lake in the late 1960s. The line followed the Muddy Creek Valley right through the middle of what is Lake Aurthur today. You can still see the line emerge from the water on the NE corner of the lake. |

| Notes About Existing
Stations... Fenelton (BR&P) - Moved in 1956 about one-third mile from original location. Harmony (B&O) - Moved and attached to another building. Mars (B&O) - The Mars railroad station was relocated in August of 1999. It was moved down the line across from the B&O caboose. Over the next four years the station received a new coat of paint. Just recently ago the society received a 1921 Plymouth diesel and a small platform car. The society also constructed a replica of a small railroad shed. |
